Portscatho In Pictures | Cornwall Day 2.




Aren't photos just so much easier to take when the sun is shining?! Alas today was not one of those days as we were utterly plagued by heavy cloud and the occasional rain shower that had me hiding my camera under my waterproofs. However as we dodged the rainfall we did manage to make it to the beautiful village of Portscatho for a little explore before heading out to a 'fancy barbecue' - more on that later. 

But isn't there just something so pretty about little Cornish fishing villages? Luckily, as we're staying on the coast it wasn't that far of a walk - maybe a couple of miles - before we arrived. As I've already mentioned, the weather wasn't really on our side however it was still fairly warm and we made it onto the beach to catch a couple of rays and look on in horror at the people swimming




We then headed up into the actual village and had a wander around the winding, twisty streets. As it's build onto a cliff there was a lot of climbing and narrow roads which to be honest made the whole thing way more picturesque. It's not like a town or housing estate like where I'm from where everything is regimented and pretty much in grid formation, it feels more like it's been there since the dawn of time, like an extension of nature itself. 






After a morning working off another huge breakfast, we returned to the hotel to get ready for a late lunch. This was something I was super excited about as we would be heading into St Mawes, another costal village, to experience the delectable Sunday barbecue at Hotel Tresanton. My family tends to visit Cornwall around once a year and usually we stay at this hotel however unfortunately we left booking too late and it was completely filled up. But they still had places going at their weekly lunch event so we booked ourselves in ready to indulge in more food. 

Now might be a good time to point out that my whole family is vegetarian so usually barbecues aren't really our thing (way to much meat!) but we've been to this one once before and can vouch that they do a whole host of amazing salads and fish dishes (if you eat fish of course) which more than make up for the abundance of meat. Unfortunately I didn't manage to get any photos of the food, but it was utterly gorgeous and since it was buffet style... Well I reckon I had about four courses?! 






Sorry this post was so picture-heavy! I hope you're enjoying my Cornwall daily blogs so far and if you're not following me on snapchat, I'm vlogging the trip too over @lilyoliviablog!
